  The World of Learning Organisations

Many countries of the world have already moved from the industrial age into the age of information and knowledge. Here the emphasis is on skills and competencies and on personal learning capability and initiative more than solutions imposed by management. The new skills are high order skills. They engender both employability and employment. Without them, individuals are disabled, not just mentally and in their ability to find work, but also in their capacity to fulfil their own human potential.
